GD&T is used everyday in your typical Aerospace and Defense manufacturing company. It is also the most misunderstood requirement. Pay close attention to ANSI Y14.5 - this is the governing standard for GD&T.

The product pictured uses several methods to measure quality. After a thorough review we have managed to reduce total touch time by approximately 15 hours in a normal production cycle. SPC allows us to monitor the quality of the product in a very predictable method. This eliminates the potential escapes and increases the overall AQL quantity. This product currently exceeds a Cpk of 2.35.

Question: what’s in a nameplate? Answer: a highly successful military
aerospace manufacturing company, if you do it right.
“My father, Glenn Grossman, founded Metalagraphics, Inc. (MGI) in a
2500-sq-ft building in 1975 to manufacture nameplates for the military and
commercial aircraft industry,” says David Grossman, company vp, business
planner and programmer. “But that was just the beginning. When he started
MGI, my father was an air force veteran and a businessman with several
years experience with a fortune 500 company. He was ambitious, he knew
people in the industry, and he knew how to sell. The result is that today
we operate from a modern, 28,000-sq-ft building, we have 56 employees and
some of the most advanced manufacturing equipment available in the world.”The Quest for Productivity
